§ 73. Colonel Sir A. SPROTasked the Secretary for Scotland if he is aware that considerable discontent prevails among the sheriff clerks and their staffs with regard to the salaries and conditions of the service, these salaries being now inadequate and there being no pensions available on retiral; and whether he is now prepared to introduce legislation giving effect to the recommendations of the Departmental Committee on minor legal appointments in Scotland, which sat in 1911, as indicated by him in the House of Commons on 12th March, 1914?
§ Mr. MUNROI am appointing a Committee to consider inter alia the manner in which and the extent to which the proposals of the Royal Commission on the Civil Service, which were substantially the same as the recommendations of the Departmental Committee, referred to by my hon. and gallant Friend, should be carried into effect.
